Family History and the Internet--ideas, questions and plans of action. This blog will guide you to excellent resources. My expertise is in the U.S. Pacific States, but I have a strong affinity with the transplanted Easterners and love to research Mid-Atlantic and New England States as well.
Lots of suggestions of places to search you haven't yet thought of.

How is FTDNA Family Finder doing these days?

Family Finder at FTDNA is doing very well lately. Most customers have many matches, and can get at least some sense of their family history. Customers correspond with their matches who help to narrow down who might be those elusive ancestors in the family tree, or at least where they might they have come from, and so on. It is not yet easy to find a new ancestor, but it is clear that as the matches increase (more customers) that those family trees will become easier to define.
And the FTDNA forums always have good posts, with up-to-date information and discussions about all of the aspects of finding matches, communicating with matches, and making sense of the genetics behind it all.
